The Last Sleep of Morpheus

Description

A painting depicting the actual moment of the passing of my darling dog Morpheus, who was nearly 16 years old. I feel that we timed it right when we called the vet who came to put him down in a friend’s field, at night, with just an LED light to see what he was doing. I painted the scene from memory, as I knew everyone would think it crass to take a photo while watching intently. I wasn’t painting for accuracy, more to capture the magic of the loving environment.
